Lists is a Homey app built around a dashboard widget that lets you view and manage your lists directly from your home screen. Create shopping lists, task lists, or simple notes—everything stays visible at a glance without needing to open a separate app.
The app supports multiple lists with custom icons and colors, item categories, quantities, due dates, and person assignments. You can mark items as complete, add notes, and manage everything with touch gestures. Lists also integrates with Homey flows, so you can add or remove items automatically based on events in your smart home.
Open for suggestions
As this is a very opiniated app at the moment, I’m open to improve every aspect of it. If there are any suggestions, let me know
@Carlo_Gabucci Hmm, a swipe to the left should work. A delete option should appear and if you swipe further the delete action is confirmed without the need to press that button. On what kind of device are you testing this?
Regarding voice control, I don’t know if there are apps for it, but I do know that some people are integrating this with the WhatsApp app. Besides that, I don’t think that this app would be the right place to add voice control in. On iOS, yout keyboard has a dictate option for example.
Hi, thanks for the answer. I’m using a Samsung A11 tablet. No way to delete the item swipping to the left (or right).
I really like the idea of having a list of missing items visible on a tablet at home. But it needs to be convenient to use.
It should be easy to add items (the most convenient way is definitely with a voice command, such as Alexa) and equally easy to check off items while you’re at the grocery store. The list should be updated automatically. If these conditions aren’t possible, I don’t see how the list would be useful.
Whatsapp? to send the list to mobile to have it with you while you are at the store? OK, but it would be a list that couldn’t be checked off, and then when you got home, you’d have to manually delete the list from the tablet.
It could be automatically deleted when sent via WhatsApp, but what would happen if not all the items were purchased? That would be too sloppy.
I was thinking of making a task list for every day of the week. Will It be possible for you to make a advanced then card. For task not checked en placing It to another task list? And also to make reminders as tasks not completed for that day?
Deleting does not work on my Lenovo tablet too. If I swipe to the left the field moves some pixels (3-5) and shows something red coming in from right , but only 3-5 pixel.
@yalkmaar Sorry for the late reply, but it would be a card that can move non checked items to another list right? I’ll see what I can do, would be a nice feature
@Austriacus Seems to be a difference between Android and iPadOS/iOS it seems. I don’t have an Android tablet, but I’ve asked someone if I can borrow it. I’ll look into it!
When added in this order the widget doesn’t sort and show it on duedate, what I would like/expect to happen…
After 12:10 when ‘Test 1’ is overdue nothing happens. Is the a card or other way to remove it from the list ?
Is there a way to limit the hight of the widget so it will nicely fit inbetween other widgets ?
The dashboard I intend to run the widget on it’s own, w/o manually deleting or checking items.
Also, can I add tasks/appointmets without ‘manually’ adding them by creating a card ? I mean like “Appointment Hairdresser” with duedate & Time 21-02-2026 14:00 without having to create a card ? (oh, just saw I can do that from the widget. so I can open the widget from my phone..)
@JohanP I have some work done locally that isn’t yet published, but some of your points are coming.
Items with due dates will be properly sorted in the next update. Items with due dates will also always be shown before items without due dates.
A trigger for when the due date of an item is not met will be added in the next update.
Setting the height of the widget manually is not done, but I’ll see if there’s anything that I can do to implement that, will be in the update after the next one if it’s doable
Besides the points above, more is coming in the upcoming update:
Added items with due dates without a time from the widget will be possible.
Some tuning to touch gestures is done, they are more reliable.
I also noticed the widget wasn’t reloading after the first time, cloding and reopening the dashboadr resulted in a endless try to load the list. I had to edit the dashboad en then save to get it running again ?
@JohanP Hmm, the widget behavior is weird. I had some problems yesterday on my iPad dashboard as well, but that was for multiple apps. How is it working since then?
Just discovered this app and it’s great. Looks beautiful on my main dashboard. Using it for now as a general family notice board by the front door but I have other ideas for it in future.
Would you be able to add an option to filter the view in a particular widget on a dashboard? The specific use case I have in mind is that I’d like for one of my dashboards to show only tasks allocated to me from a given list.
